Volunteer profiles and recruitment process
We do not have a specific profile that we are looking for, but we ask
for a person that understands responsibility and is interested to work
with young people, children and dogs. It would be good if the volunteer
is creative, has a little experience in group work. The volunteers
should have at least average knowledge of English, because our members
know only that foreign language, or a Slavic language. Also, it is
important that the volunteer is able to work in a middle size city in
Eastern Croatia.
We are open to cooperate with all organizations that have a proven
history of quality work within the youth field.
